WHAT'S BREWING?

I'm posting much later than I had planned today ... I promised Allie I'd take her shopping this afternoon for a prom dress. If you know me, you know I don't care for shopping, especially when it is in a mall. And shopping for a prom dress is no easy task ... they're all made for barbie doll figures, not normal teenager figures! geezh! Not to mention, they're all very sexy ... hard to find a "hip" dress that is a little conservative! Unfortunately, we came home empty handed, and our search continues. Onto the card ...

This coffee mug image and sentiment are just two of the coffee-themed images from the new Paper Prettiesstamp set, Look Who's Perky. I made this card using Jen del Muro'sSketch For You To Try from 2/23/08.The flower on the coffee mug is a SAB Love & Happiness Rub-On in Old Olive, and the ribbon is the new Chocolate Chip Poly-Twill Ribbon in the new Occasions Mini Collection 2008. I finally used some of my Aged Copper Hodgepodge Hardware (I must quit hoarding that stuff!).RECIPEStamps: Look Who's Perky from Paper PrettiesPaper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive CS, Old Olive Prints DPInk: Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Classic InkEmbellishments: Chocolate Chip Poly-Twill Ribbon, SAB Love & Happiness Rub-Ons (Old Olive), Aged Copper Hodgepodge HardwareTools: 1 1/4", 1 3/8", and Scallop Circle Punches, Paper Piercing Tool/Mat/TemplateSupplies: Stampin' DimensionalsNote: All Supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Boy can I relate to the dress search! It took Megan & I 6 hours at the 'Mall of America' to find the 'perfect' dress for snowdaze last month. I wonder how long the search will be for the perfect Prom dress, heaven forbid you wear the same dress twice! Oh well, we had fun looking!

Just a sec, I have to go grab a cup of java.....mmmmmm....ok, now I can admire your card in style! Thanks for posting a CUTE COFFEE CARD, you know these types are my FAV!!!Let me know if you want to come and see some prom dresses. I know it is frustrating, but from another mom who doesn't particularly love to shop, I MISS PROM DRESS SHOPPING, even though we were tired and miserable from looking! LOL Hey, it's part of the memory and you can scrap it! LOL
